Continued from First Page they will start reclassificatioon of the men now holding 3-C classifi cations. All of these registrants found qualified for a farm classifi cation will be placed in class 2-C for a period of six months or less. It will be the object to replace men who can be found available for military service with over-age men, men with Pre-Pearl Harbor children, and especially with those men who have seen active duty with the military service and are being returned to civilian life as the result of physical disabilities. Every case will continue to re ceive the careful consideration of Morrow county's local board and the USDA war board. It . is urged that all registrants complete at once the supplemental forms for farm workers that they have been receiving from their local boards, and to use care in giving correct and complete information.

Production Hints Stressed in 1944 Triple A Program Production practices which will yield immediate increase while giv ing maximum protection to soil re sources of Morrow county farm lands are stressed in Oregon's Triple A conservation program of 1944, Henry Baker, chairman of the county AAA committee, announced this week. Baker views as an important feature of the new program the removal of limitations on prices which individual farmers can carry out to earn payments. The only ex ceptions are for application of lime and phosphate, for which the max imum payment will be $2 per acre of cropland and orchard or $25 per farm, whichever is larger. The committeeman explained that "soil-building allowances," formerly based on each farm's orchard, range and cropland acreages, have been eliminated in the 1944 program. This will allow one operator who has an extensive conservation job to do. such as control of noxious weeds, to earn practice payments on the entire acreage involved. An other operator who carries out no practices will not tie up funds which otherwise would be obli gated for his farm. The reason for the change, the committeeman continued, is to per mit maximum results in increased production for war from the $300. 000.000 allocated by congress for conservation. The 1944 AAA program offers a group of erosion control and water conservation practices designed to keep valuable topsoil in place on county farmlands for peak produc tion now and in future. Payments are offered for contour drilling of field crops, stripcropping. protect ed sumrnerfallow. incorporation of pea or vetch straw into the surface soil, establishing permanent sod waterways, construction of tile or open-ditch drainage, reorganization of farm irrigation systems, water spreading practices and construc tion of riprap. Rates of payment and specifica tions for these and other production-boosting practices can be ob tained from community commitlae men or the county AAA office.
